BABYLON A.D. is excited to announce the release of the second single, LOVE IS CRUEL, from their new album WHEN THE WORLD STOPS.
Lead singer Derek Davis had this to say about the new single, “The song “Love Is Cruel” I had written a few years back but I had never shown it to the rest of the band. We were looking for a ballad for the new album and I presented it to the guys not knowing what their reaction would be due to the piano arrangement, something that we had never done before on an album.
To my happy surprise all the guys in the band instantly said yes “This is a
Killer Track Lets Do It”! The song is about how you can be completely absorbed in someone and love them so deeply, but love is so very fragile and can be taking away so easy. The memory and pain of loosing someone in your life can make you see the world in a different light and it can wake you up or shut you down, and sometimes both. “Drifting on a memory, high above the clouded skies of blue pictures play inside my head, pieces of the time I spent with you now you're waving goodbye, and I just want to die, Love Is Cruel”! It’s so true, love can be so cruel sometimes and we all share in the pain and suffering at one time or another in it this life. On a side note I would like to thank Julie Pacheco for the absolutely stunning piano playing. Eric Pacheco our bassist passed away 4 years ago and he was one of the few people I had played the song for and I feel Julie was playing out her soul for him.
